Nov 26 thru 28, 2010
After staging for an early departure the previous afternoon, Rapsodie Bleue and ourselves left Lake Worth inlet with the normal fanfare...waves and chop. No water in the cockpit this year as we stowed all cushions below. Fairly uneventful crossing and arrived at Mangrove Cay prior to sunset. Noticed that the bilge pump was cutting in but went to sleep. Next morning, Fred thought perhaps the pump was not pumping and swapped out the spare. Later start, but on the Crab Cay for night again prior to sunset anchor down. Nov 28, we had discussed perhaps stopping in Green Turtle to clear into the Bahamas. The forecast was not great, so we pushed on the Marsh Harbour as we thought we may need supplies to do something with the over abundance of water in the bilge.
